plan4business is an EU-funded project developing a service platform to integrate and analyze spatial planning data from heterogeneous sources. The platform will allow users to access this spatial planning data and perform spatial analyses. It will integrate data defined by the INSPIRE Directive, statistical and economic data from Eurostat, OpenStreetMap reference topography, flood areas, protected sites, transport networks, and cadastral parcels. The 24-month project is being conducted by a 6-partner consortium led by Fraunhofer IGD to build a prototype platform for aggregating, processing, and analyzing urban and regional planning data.
